Roc can Ride with no training wheels... 4-23

Seriously this kid is unbelievable.  He has been wanting to ride his bike now for a few months, but I kept telling him no.  One day I decided to take the training wheels off and let him try.  I don't feel all that good, and the thought of helping him learn was a little too much, but I can't keep putting it off!  So after a few failed attempts, he wanted them back on.  After a few days of on and off, I decided they were staying off this time.  We went to classic fun center one day, and I bribed him with tokens every time he would try.  By the time we left, he was doing pretty good.  Over the next few days we got it!  Way out of control, but he is riding by himself and loving it.  He usually uses the grass to stop himself, but if a boulder gets in the way first he just rams into it!  Funny stuff.

Update (5-5-12):  He is doing so good now. Tonight we went to the soccer park and let him practice starting on his own.  He figured it out after a few GRRRRR's.  We were down kicking goals with the big kids when all of the sudden we here: "here comes Rocket".  He came flying down the grass hill with a huge grin on his face.  The kid is HILARIOUS!
